BUG REPORT: Problem printing from Outlook Express after IE8 instal

microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general

I upgraded from IE7 to IE8 (final release version) on a Windows XP, SP3
system. After installing IE8, I have a problem printing from Outlook Express.
I have the most current Window Updates installed. I uninstalled IE8 and went
back to IE7, and printing problem went away.

Problem defined: The left and right margins are no longer correct, and the
right side of wider printouts get chopped off. The left margin seems to have
been reduced to the printers default setting and the right margin appears to
be about 1.75 inches. Anything that would print outside these margins get
chopped off.

I had the same problem with Outlook 2003. IE8 seemed to have changed the page setup screen. Only Outlook from the Office package was effected. Uninstalled IE8 and all is back to normal.
